After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan's phone immediately received a text message, which he assumed was from the mobile company.
Upon opening it, I found it was a message from Yang Zihan. The message read: "General Manager, are you free tonight? I need to talk to you about something!"
Seeing the text message, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. What was Yang Zihan up to? Did she want to go on a date with him?
Yesterday and today she was acting like she didn't care about me at all, so why is she texting me now to ask me out?
Sigh! You can't guess what's on a girl's mind no matter how hard you try.
Damn it, what bad timing! I just made plans to have dinner with Lu Siyao tonight, and then I got a message from Yang Zihan asking me out.
It wouldn't be good to refuse, since this is the first time Yang Zihan has mustered the courage to ask him out. If he refuses, it would be a huge blow to her enthusiasm.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaoyuan thought, why not take Lu Siyao and Yang Zihan out to dinner together? That way, he wouldn't break his promise to Lu Siyao, nor would he dampen Yang Zihan's enthusiasm!
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately sent Yang Zihan a text message, saying that she would wait for his notification.
Since he was having dinner with two beautiful women, Lu Siyao and Yang Zihan, Liu Xiaoyuan naturally couldn't choose the Huaqiang Hotel, as he was the general manager of the hotel. He didn't want to be misunderstood as a two-timing womanizer.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to find a suitable place to eat and chat with the beautiful women.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't familiar with the town. So he called Brother Qiang, who was a local bigwig and knew every corner of the town.
Brother Qiang immediately recommended a place, saying it was a great place and perfect for couples to have dinner together in the evening.
The place that Qiang Ge recommended is a restaurant by the river in town.
This restaurant is built by the river, allowing diners to enjoy the evening breeze and riverside scenery. With a bamboo grove nearby, the landscape is truly beautiful. It's said that some couples, after a satisfying meal, will venture into the bamboo grove, using the sky as their blanket and the ground as their mat, and engage in passionate lovemaking right there.
Every month, the government sends the street sweepers to clean the bamboo grove, supposedly to remove the traps and snares inside.
At 6:30 pm, Lu Siyao finally called, asking Liu Xiaoyuan where he wanted to take her to dinner.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Riverside restaurant!"
The riverside restaurant is the one located on the riverbank in town. As a police officer in the town, Lu Siyao naturally knew that place.
“Okay, I’ll come pick me up on your motorcycle!” Lu Siyao said.
“No problem!” Liu Xiaoyuan replied immediately.
After going downstairs, Liu Xiaoyuan said to Yang Zihan at the front desk, "Zihan, let's go!"
Yang Zihan asked, puzzled, "General Manager, where are we going?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Didn't you tell me I'd treat you to dinner tonight? Let's go!"
Yang Zihan said with difficulty, "But I'm still at work!"
As the general manager, Liu Xiaoyuan was not troubled by this small matter. He immediately called Wang Qing and asked her to arrange someone to replace Yang Zihan.
After getting on Liu Xiaoyuan's high-speed motorcycle, Yang Zihan asked, "General Manager, where are you taking me to eat?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Let's pick someone up first, then go to the riverside restaurant."
Yang Zihan, in the car, wondered what Liu Xiaoyuan was going to pick up. Meanwhile, Lu Siyao was walking slowly down the road. She was dressed up beautifully tonight because Liu Xiaoyuan had invited her to dinner at a riverside restaurant.
Although Lu Siyao had only been back for a short time, she had already heard that when a man and a woman go to a riverside restaurant for a meal, it's usually because they're talking about love.
Although Lu Siyao doesn't like Liu Xiaoyuan yet, she doesn't dislike him either. She just feels happy to be with him.
"Siyao!" Liu Xiaoyuan's motorcycle stopped beside Lu Siyao. Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's voice, Lu Siyao was overjoyed and looked up at Liu Xiaoyuan with excitement.
However, when Lu Siyao saw Yang Zihan sitting in the back, she was dumbfounded. What did this guy mean? He had agreed to have dinner with her, so why did he bring a girl? And such a pretty girl at that? What was he planning to do?
Yang Zihan in the car was also dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the person Liu Xiaoyuan was going to pick up would be Lu Siyao. What was going on?
Yang Zihan assumed Lu Siyao was Liu Xiaoyuan's girlfriend, but now it seems things aren't as she thought. If Lu Siyao really were Liu Xiaoyuan's girlfriend, he definitely wouldn't have brought her to dinner tonight. Nobody wants to bring a third wheel on a date with their girlfriend.
"Siyao, get in the car!" Liu Xiaoyuan called out.
Lu Siyao pouted and glared at Liu Xiaoyuan, but in the end she still got on Liu Xiaoyuan's high-speed motorcycle.
On the way, Yang Zihan and Lu Siyao acted like rivals, not exchanging a single word. If Liu Xiaoyuan hadn't kept talking, the atmosphere would probably have been very awkward.
After arriving at the riverside restaurant, Liu Xiaoyuan parked the car, and the three of them found a seat by the river.
The river water is very clear, you can see the bottom, and you can see the little fish swimming in it!
The reason this river is so clear is not because it is well managed, but because there are no factories upstream or even in the surrounding area.
Most of the diners at the riverside restaurant are couples or lovers, so it's rare to see a man and two women like Liu Xiaoyuan. More importantly, Lu Siyao and Yang Zihan are both stunning beauties, which makes them even more attractive.
After they sat down, Liu Xiaoyuan noticed that Lu Siyao seemed a little unhappy. Liu Xiaoyuan guessed that it was probably because he had brought Yang Zihan along.
To make up for his mistake, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately took the menu and let Lu Siyao order!
Although it was just a small gesture, Lu Siyao was very happy.
In Lu Siyao's view, Liu Xiaoyuan giving her the menu first meant that he valued her more than Yang Zihan.
Lu Siyao was happy, but Yang Zihan felt a little disappointed.
You can't have your cake and eat it too! Liu Xiaoyuan finally understood the meaning of this saying.
To ease the awkward situation, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately introduced Lu Siyao and Yang Zihan to each other.
The awkward atmosphere eased somewhat after the two women got to know each other.
"Sister Siyao, can I call you Sister Siyao from now on?" Yang Zihan said with a smile to show her friendliness.
"Okay, then I'll call you Zihan from now on." Seeing that Yang Zihan had taken the initiative to be friendly, Lu Siyao felt it would be petty of her to keep a straight face.
So, Lu Siyao also showed a sweet smile and started chatting with Yang Zihan.
Women are such strange creatures. Once they start chatting, they can find common ground, such as what kind of movies they like to watch, which celebrities they like, what kind of hairstyle looks good, how to match clothes, and so on.
In any case, at this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan was treated like air by the two women!
